This is my house. Brett did a phenomenal job. We love every single bit and he DOES restore as much as he can especially considering a tight budget and timeline.
Rebekah Cloud, your house is as beautiful as your family, especially the little princess. I remember your house for its beauty and the TV show for how cute you are and for the fact that the baby was born soon after. I am glad to have the opportunity to greet you from the other side of the world, from Belgrade 😊
One of the reasons I really appreciate Mr. Waterman is it he is first, a preservationist! I call him the "House Whisperer"!! If you haven't watched the show RESTORED, I HIGHLY recommend!!
Honestly, watching Restored made me love all things old -- all over again; and, gave me an even deeper appreciation of true craftsmanship. It even inspired me - a complete novice - to "unpaint" my husband's childhood bedroom furniture (He is 65) It was gorgeous, maple hardwood, mid century modern, SOLID good furniture, that some fool painted in her early 20s because it was too old fashioned looking". I am that someone - Im that fool. But--I stripped it, carefully sanded it, and very barely stained it, and it turned out great. So, now we're restoring a 100 yr old Craftsman house. I loved the Rebekah Craftsman episode!! I watched that one a few times!! 😆 There are soo many days I think to myself "ohhh, if I could have Brett Waterman do all of this" 😅
I'm watching Restored right now. I love this show. Can't stand cookie cutter modern homes. Two thumbs up for folks like you guys that do restoration. 😊👍
This is my favorite restoration show! I love his dedication to using as many period materials as he can. Never disappointed with the finished product. Plus he always comes in on budget unless the homeowner agrees to any increase. Cheers.
Living in Redlands myself I can tell you we love him too. He supports local businesses and is truly down to earth. I'll buy any season he comes up with a take tips from his show on how to keep a home authentically beautiful.
I did the same in my previous Tudor cottage. I had to take razor blades to pick paint out of the grain. The mahogany was gorgeous under layers of paint.
What a great and informational video! I live in a 1919 craftsman bungalow in Iowa. Love learning about these homes and the right and wrong things to do to them. Keep it up!
Brett Waterman is the man! If money were no object, I certainly would hire him for the restoration job. I've watched all seasons of his show multiple times. Always surprised when he finds clues hidden behind the walls. His kitchens are the best. He's like a Houdini--he finds space where there weren't any! "Restored" is the exact opposite of "Good Bones", "Fixer Upper", and the cancelled "Restored By the Fords"(which is the worst "restoration" show around). The "Restored By the Fords" has an episode where she puts the kitchen in the front parlor in an old Pittsburg Victorian home--to give you an idea of the mess she makes!
I grew up in Redlands, CA and have always loved the historical homes there. Unfortunately I have come to know too much about the damage that lead, cadmium, mercury, etc. often found in these homes can cause to young children. Anything brass, the glass, the solder holding the glass patterns together, likely the original finishes on the beautiful wood, the plumbing and therefore the water supply itself… it’s truly unfortunate that people weren’t educated about it at that time.
That lath/plaster wall demolition was stupid. Basic rule: If your going do 'demolish' a walk, etc. don't just take a hammer, pry bar, etc. and rip it all into one bit mess. Think of how it was built and then reverse the process. Eg. Lath and plaster: take off all the plaster first and leave as much of the lath in place as possible. Clean out all the plaster. Then, start on removing the lath. Much easier to remove, cleanup one type of material at a time.
A major shortcoming here is the failure to strip the board and batten wainscot and plate rail in the dining room. This is a glaring omission. What beautiful wood must be imprisoned in paint here ! It's a shame to go so far, then stumble on the goal line.
While we aren’t sure on the reason why, in our experience sometimes you can only go so far with a budget so you have to adjust and meet as many goals as possible.
Yet, people continue to do it. Know of three examples where next owners had to have the homes gently "sand blasted" to remove the paint. I see others that were cleaned but can still tell that they had painted brick.
I love all of the lead paint they stripped off properly (LOL) let’s call the EPA and see what they say about it. Oh and let’s not forget about the asbestos that was removed properly also. Talking serious money here. The funny thing is I’m going up against DIY network this week on one of Brett’s restored homes. He doesn’t do the work they have contractors do it. Can’t wait to find all the stuff they did wrong. You have to remember it’s TV. Lots and lots of illusions. Don’t get wrapped up in the TV land where you think he knows all this stuff about older homes. That’s what the research department is for.
Thanks for commenting; from what I can tell and the comments from the homeowners of this episode, Brett is a genuine guy. It also looks to me that they follow all the RRP rules (Lead Paint); sure this type of restoration is expensive but so is custom millwork with high-quality old-growth wood. You are correct that TV shows are not 100% real. However, from my personal experience working with Scripps Network (HGTV & DIY), they build the show around who you are, what you do, and what you are an expert at. The passion is real, and the work is real. The fake part of the show is the unfinished bathroom that didn't get done on time or the high five they made the talent do 😂.
You are on a role... That is my personal house and yes! In 2000 the neighborhood was on a path to being listed as a historical district. The then homeowner, who was in opposition to the historical designation, took the opportunity to do the renovation he wanted before the restrictions were put into place. This included painting all the trim, vinyl windows, vinyl siding and much more. On the positive side he made some awesome investments in the HVAC, plumbing and foundations. I hope to rescue it one day, restore the siding, build windows for it, scrape that fireplace down. But you know what they say "The cobbler's children have no shoes".
@@RulesForRescue Ty, thank you for the quick story on your home, was wondering if you can tell me about the fireplace itself, can not find any images on it. I think I found a home on the market with the same pattern of brickwork and would like to know more about the designer.
Wish u had been quiet for the reveal you could have waited till the end for ur comments all we see is ur face n little pic inset but a beautiful job furnishings suck tho

Thank you for watching, it was really unique to see that level of restoration on TV. You guys have a beautiful home!
Rebekah Cloud, your home is beautiful. Congratulations on your beautiful baby, too!
You are so lucky, I live in Australia and would love for Brett to work on my home!

AMAZING!!
I have watched all of his shows and he is the real deal. I think he is more excited than the home owners. He truly loves what he does!

Bro, thanks for reviewing our house! I made sure they went back and finished the kitchen with all the same doors. Brett is a great guy, he's the best!
Wow, thank you for watching. Brett is definitely a hero of ours!
I lived through a year of removing paint from all of my beautiful wood work in my old house, by myself. It was worth it!!!
That is awesome... it is a labor of love.
I did the same in my previous Tudor cottage. I had to take razor blades to pick paint out of the grain. The mahogany was gorgeous under layers of paint.
Hi, Are you a fan of my show restored?
Are you a fan of my show restored?
I KNEW you would like this show!! Brett is awesome!
I hope you get to see the rest of his shows. They are all this good!
I really enjoyed it!
I've never seen anyone on TV do what he does with regard to keeping it to the original architecture. His crew are absolute craftsmen.
Shows like this are hard to make happen on major networks, often with high costs and low sponsorships. His show is great!
I grew up here and have seen so many beautiful homes in Redlands being brought back to life. Love Brett Waterman. Beautiful home.
What a great and informational video! I live in a 1919 craftsman bungalow in Iowa. Love learning about these homes and the right and wrong things to do to them. Keep it up!

I agree 100% about natural wood finishes, AND never painting brick. You've ruined the brick, as far as I'm concerned, once it's painted.
I grew up in Redlands, CA and have always loved the historical homes there. Unfortunately I have come to know too much about the damage that lead, cadmium, mercury, etc. often found in these homes can cause to young children. Anything brass, the glass, the solder holding the glass patterns together, likely the original finishes on the beautiful wood, the plumbing and therefore the water supply itself… it’s truly unfortunate that people weren’t educated about it at that time.
I think this could be said of so many items outside of historic homes - if we were educated at the time, things would be different.
That lath/plaster wall demolition was stupid. Basic rule: If your going do 'demolish' a walk, etc. don't just take a hammer, pry bar, etc. and rip it all into one bit mess.

Much easier to remove, cleanup one type of material at a time.
This is true
Good stuff. I enjoyed this. I subscribed after looking at other videos you offer.
Thanks Brittany!

Anyone know what the theme song is in the opening credits ?
Has anyone found information on the faux finishing? We have 13 layers of brick over textured brick.
This was great! Can you do a review of the show “Restoring Galveston“?
Great suggestion, I will watch some episodes.

Painting brick looks terrible and is bad for the brick. There's brick stains if you hate the color.
Here you are critiquing the redo sitting in front of a white painted brick fireplace. Way to bland the room out.
Are you sitting infront of a painted, white fireplace in a magnolia room? 😉

Sorry! Audio was tough back then.
